I used to use an external Motorola Bitsurfr, but found it
difficult to configure, and unreliable. Currently, I'm using an external
3com ImpactIQ, which was very easy to configure and has provided
wonderfully stable connections. I did have to install the latest flash
upgrade, but 3com provides a DOS utility that fit on a boot floppy.
Best of luck!

never seen that before. a solution would be to use the generic 'find'

possibly there's an appropriate config file to hack.

I had a similar problem when I loaded Gnome and Enlightenment from the
RPMs available out there on the internet. I did NOT install it
originally when installing that version of REDHAT.
My fix was installing GNOME with the installation of the OS (I was
reinstalling anyway on this particular test box).
I think it was a problem with the RPM archive that I was using, the
one on the CD seemed to work fine.... perhaps try a different version
of gnome and e ?

Exactly. Amoral monsters such as you want others to solely take up the
full responsability for taking care of themselves because that would
lift your own responsability for their welfare. You want all this while
not going through the tradeoff yourself; you keep whining and whining
about how you're taking full responsability for yourself but that's
an odidous lie since society is already responsible for your very
existence.

I don't doubt that you could get it to work, I'm just wondering if
just a little FreeBSD-style snobery towards hardware is a good
thing. I mean, there is quite a bit of sketchy PC hardware floating
around out there...Is it really a reasonable/desirable goal to support

Well, I'm not that much of a snob--I don't personally own any SCSI.

Yes, but continuing to purchase their hardware while they continue to

Well, is there a /usr/local/var/locatedb? If so, there shouldn't be.
The default location of locatedb is /var/lib -- /usr/local/var makes

If it was as simple as that, then there would already be drivers.
Basically a "winmodem" is a fast, cheap sound card. It does nothing by
itself. The windoze driver does it all, it sets up a fake com port,
receives the commands to configure itself. Then it takes the data from the
fake port, adds compression and error correction, then translates the data
to a audio stream for the winmodem to "play" like a audio file. The reverse
is true, the winmodem receives the audio from the phone line and converts
it to a digital signal like you would record audio from your sound card.
Then the computer takes the signal and translates it , does error
correction and then uncompresses it and sends the result to the fake com
port. As you can see, this is a lot of CPU overhead, actually one could do
the same thing and make 9600 Baud modem using a sound card. ( there are
Ham Radio modems like that for wireless digital transmissions) In my
opinion, this is a bad way to do high speed connections. I cannot believe
that actually provides a good quality connection anyway. But there are many
variations, some modems are a cross. They require that the driver downloads
the "modem software" into the modems memory every time you boot, then the
modem will act like a hardware modem. Those kinds of modems can be used by
Linux if you boot into windoze first, and do a soft boot into Linux. Or,
the driver tells the modem at what memory address the "modem software" is
and it just reads it from the computers memory. Those will never be used in
Linux. Linux does not allow that kind of memory sharing. I found out
recently PCI modems usually use one of those methods. Do not confuse this
with the modem with a flash rom, they are hardware modems that can be
upgraded, and most of those can be used in Linux (The flash upgrade most
likely will need windoze though) Every "winmodem" make and model uses
something different so making a set of drivers would be a lot of work, even
if you could get the specs. I would guess you would have to rewrite the
kernel serial drivers to accept this method. Also anyone know how good
Linux is a real-time operations? My computer really slows down doing MP3
sound, I would hate to think what would happen using a winmodem.
I am not an expert, this is what I have found out reading bits and pieces,
if I am wrong, please let me know. I am interested in finding out myself.

Depending on how you would define "replacement," you might take a look
at CBB (mature, not being terribly actively developed) or at GnuCash
(not mature, "robust-QIF-import-getting-closer-I-Promise").

Boot from your emergency boot disk, mount the partition containing
/usr/lib, and rename it.
Supposing /usr/lib.bak is on the root partition, on /dev/hda1, this
might be accomplished via:
# mkdir /tmp/mnt
# mount /dev/hda1 /tmp/mnt
# cd /tmp/mnt/usr
# mv lib.bak lib
# shutdown -r now
The second-most-likely situation is for it to be on the "/usr"
partition (I assume this to be /dev/hda3; Your Milage May Vary);
# mkdir /tmp/mnt
# mount /dev/hda3 /tmp/mnt
# cd /tmp/mnt
# mv lib.bak lib

There are a couple of "resizer" utilities out there;
<http://lwn.net/980514/a/resizefs.html>
<http://www.dsv.nl/~buytenh/ext2resize/>
<http://linux.msede.com/ext2/>
<http://www.netspace.net.au/~reiter/e2compr.html>
do an assortment of "resizing" operations on ext2 filesystems.
They're not mature enough to be considered Real Safe.
I'll hazard the guess that if you had to ask, you probably aren't
*certain* that it's wise to do this...
Modifying the size of a partition is Not Particularly Safe.
The approach that I'd suggest taking instead (just as a thought) is to
create a new, larger-than-100MB partition in that unused space, and
*copy* everything from / into that new partition, and then migrate to
using it.
I've not done it in a couple of years, so I won't risk missing
something by trying to outline it...
Gotchas:
- Use CPIO to transfer files over, otherwise the stuff in /dev may not
get copied correctly.
- Make sure you exclude /proc from the list, as that would be a Bad
Thing to keep.
# find / -print -mount -name /proc -prune
will give you the set of files that need to be copied.
Then, the command to copy it all over to /mnt/future_root, the
soon-to-become-root filesystem would be fairly similar to:
# find / -print -mount -name /proc -prune | \
cpio -o | \
( cd /mnt/future_root ; cpio -i )
You'd probably want then to:
# cd /mnt/future_root/etc; vi fstab
And fiddle with /etc/lilo.conf and /mnt/future_root/etc/lilo.conf.
I suspect that I'm missing something here; milage may vary...

Others are responsible for you. Why do you refuse to reciprocate?

I know because this is one of the rules of LANGUAGE; that's what the

What the fuck are you talking about? Where did you pull this non sequitur

Yes you do. You also need to precisely and *formally* define what
"free choice" means and to prove that it exists. There's already

The reality of free choice (or "free will" as it's known in the americas)
is subject to scientific investigation. There are no convincing arguments
for its existence, and all of the arguments for it tend to boil down to
supernaturalism.

Try something like:
ldd /path/to/binaryused
and see if you can find out what version your program was linked with.

So you think "there are greater evils" is a valid argument? Here's news for
you: it is *not*! The fact that the americas are made up of totally fucked
up depraved dictatorships does not excuse any evil and injustice in Europe.

why not write CHAP scripts yourself. RTFHOWTO (PPP-HOWTO) a version
should be in /usr/doc. it's very thorough.

I've just had exactly the same problem (I've got posts on it all over the
place, look for "Jonathan Wilson") and mine was indeed a DNS problem. You
most likely will NOT find any refrences to it in Windows, I've setup up
internet connections on several Windows computers (including firewalls) and
never even heard of DNS, which is why I didn't think to try that on my own.
You can find your server's DNS info either in the documentation your ISP
gave you, or on their website. Once you get the DNS filled in, if it still
doesn't work, try pinging. (if you don't know what pinging is, lets us
know).
Also, if your new I wouldn't try editing any files. Since you (like me) are
running Mandrake, I'm sure you've got linxconf installed. (to open it, go to
an xterm or Konsole window and type "linuxconf" and hit the enter key.
You also need to put the DNS info in kppp. Can't remember where is goes but
their IS a place for it somewhere.
Happy Linuxing,
JW
